Online and Under the Web

Rating:
Summary: Web tips
Review: Published in 1999, Online and Under the Web is a conglomerate of information on everything from promoting a website to building your first web page. Some great tips, which I encourage my own clients to use, are presented, including credit card processing and opt-in email promotion. I did, however, to find some of the statistical information to be outdated. Most of the figures represented 1999 stats, and as a web developer, I can attest that all things web can dramatically change in three years. My other complaint is that the information seemed to have a lack of flow to it. The book mentions SPAM on one of the opening pages and then tells us 13 pages later what SPAM is. Even as an experienced web user, the presentation of the information left my brain muddled and my thoughts scattered. With proper updates, this book would be a worthy read.
